Question 1

Why is Manipur turmeric considered superior?

Accepted Answer

Manipur's mineral-rich hill terrain produces turmeric with naturally higher curcumin content than plains-grown varieties. Curcumin is the active compound responsible for turmeric's colour, flavour, and health benefits — more of it means a more potent product, in both your cooking and your health routine.

Question 2

What is curcumin and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Curcumin is the primary bioactive compound in turmeric — responsible for its anti-inflammatory properties, golden colour, and superfood reputation. Most mass-market powders contain low curcumin levels due to the variety used or adulteration with fillers.Ogvan Haldi is independently certified to contain curcumin at nearly 3x the FSSAI minimum standard — verified by Equinox Labs (NABL-accredited). Full certificate available on request.

Question 3

How do I know the high curcumin claim is real?

Accepted Answer

It's lab-verified, not self-declared. Ogvan Haldi was tested by Equinox Labs (NABL-accredited) using the official FSSAI Manual for Spices & Condiments (2021) as the testing method. The result confirmed full conformance — and nearly 3x the FSSAI minimum limit. Certificate available on request.

Question 4

Most turmeric powders are adulterated. How is Ogvan different?

Accepted Answer

Common adulterants in turmeric include starch, flour, chalk powder, and metanil yellow — a banned industrial dye. Ogvan Haldi contains zero starch, zero flour, zero maltodextrin, and zero synthetic colours. The high curcumin reading in our lab report itself confirms this — you cannot hit that number with diluted, adulterated product.

Question 5

Does it contain Vitamin B? How is it preserved during processing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — lab-tested and confirmed to contain a natural Vitamin B complex: B1, B2, B3, B6, and B9. High-heat industrial grinding destroys these heat-sensitive vitamins. Ogvan's natural grinding process is specifically designed to preserve them — along with the turmeric's essential oils and active compounds.

Question 6

Is it certified Microplastic-Free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — tested by Equinox Labs (NABL-accredited) via FTIR, the gold standard for microplastic detection. Result: Not Detected. Machine-processed spices risk contamination through plastic-lined industrial equipment. Ogvan's natural processing minimises this — and we verify it with independent lab certification every batch.

Question 7

Can I use this haldi for skincare as well?

Accepted Answer

Yes — because of its purity, not just its colour. Most commercial turmeric contains synthetic dyes and starch that make it unsuitable for skin. Because Ogvan Haldi is 100% filler-free with high natural essential oil content, it is safe and effective for face masks, ubtan, haldi ceremonies, and DIY skincare routines.

Question 8

Does it contain minerals other than curcumin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lab-tested and confirmed to contain Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, and Sodium — all naturally occurring from the turmeric root, in full concentration because there are no diluting fillers. Full nutritional report available on request.

Question 9

How much should I use per dish?

Accepted Answer

Less than you think. Because Ogvan Haldi is 100% pure with no fillers, it is significantly more potent than standard supermarket turmeric. Start with half your usual quantity and adjust. A little goes a long way — making it more economical per use than it may appear.
